Description: | Incomplete and bent Medieval furniture fitting: D-section strap mount broken across a rivet hole at one end and narrowing past a second hole to a break at the other. On the convex front two highly stylised animal heads in relief, one pierced a rivet hole. Length >65mm. Width 6 ?? 8mm. Maximum thickness 3mm. The style of the decoration is close to that on a fragmentary mount from Lincolnshire (Read 2001 no. 168) and to more elaborate example from Brisley / Stanfield (HER 30600). 13th century. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bales, Ellen - Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
